Electric sheep is the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet. less poetically, it is an internet server and xscreensaver module that displays mpeg video of an animated fractal flame. in the background, it contributes render cycles to the next animation. periodically, it uploads completed frames to the server, where they are compressed for distribution to all clients.

Loved this project for years now, started playing with it when I still ran windows, simply the prettiest screensaver out there PERIOD! Plus your a part of the creation as well as you can vote for your favorites :) Great stuff.
